Kangana Ranaut, who is known for her opinions and fierce attitude, opened up about the major decision taken by Zaira Wasim. When a journalist asked the ‘Queen’ actress to react on the same, she said, ‘’I think any religion should empower you. It should you make you confident and independent.’’

"It should make you fulfill your life and if you think your life is already fulfilled, there's plenty of work around you. Try and help your family and friends. Kaveri is drying up. There's so much to do. So work and try and fulfill the environment around you. The essential fundamental requirement of any religion is to empower you, not disempower you," Kangana was quoted as saying by DNA.
